Tianyi Cui b0422f2a50 fix review findings: bump session format version + restore late turn-end warn
Codex review of the trace-event fold found two merge-blockers.

Blocker #1 — format version. Folding usage onto assistant/message and removing
the standalone usage/error events changed the persisted SessionEventMap shape,
which per the AGENTS.md "bump the version and reject — don't migrate" policy
requires a backend to reject any non-current log. Centralize the version in an
exported SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION constant (dsh-session), read by both write sites
(Session constructor default, SessionStore.prepare header) and the coordinator's
load-time assertVersion check. The constant is pinned at 0: while unreleased the
on-disk format is unstable/pre-release, so breaking shape churn is absorbed at v0
(no monotonic bump until the first tagged release) and any non-0 log is rejected
on load — no migration. Update every test/fixture/doc that stamps a
currently-written header to the constant, bump the ACP snapshot fixture + golden
headers to v0, and keep the version-rejection test meaningful by switching its
bad value to a clearly non-current 99. AGENTS.md documents both the monotonic
(SQLite SCHEMA_VERSION) and pinned-0 (session log) pre-release stances.

Blocker #2 — restore the late turn-end warn. failTurn now sets the error reason
only while the turn is still open; once turn/end is appended (a throwing
agent/turn-end listener after closeTurn) the reason can no longer reach the
durable log, so the late throw is logged via ctx.logger.warn instead of
vanishing into a futile post-close assignment. A regression test asserts the
warn fires.

Also guard the normal-step assistant/message append with the same
content-or-usage condition as the max-tokens branch (a content-less, usage-less
step records no trace-only row), with a covering test.

@deepseek-ai/dsh-session-persistence-jsonl

The JSONL durable session-persistence backend — a concrete SessionPersistence (the dsh-session-persistence seam). One append-only .jsonl event log per session.

On-disk layout

<root>/
  cwd-<sha256(cwd)[:12]>/        # per-project bucket (or _no-cwd/ when no cwd)
    <encoded-id>.jsonl           # header line + one SessionEvent per line (verbatim)
  • The first .jsonl line is the immutable SessionHeader tagged { type: 'session', version, id, cwd?, createdAt, parentSession? }; every subsequent line is one SessionEvent JSON, verbatim including assistant/chunk so seq stays contiguous (events[i].seq === i).
  • Session ids are unvalidated branded strings, so they are percent-encoded to a single safe path segment before use (no traversal, no collision).

Config

Key Type Notes
root string (required) Root directory for all session files. No default — a process.cwd() default would scatter files as the process's cwd changes (bash calls, subprocesses).

Durability and crash semantics

  • Lazy materialization. create(meta) writes nothing; the .jsonl (header + first batch) is written atomically (temp-write + fsync + rename) on the first append. A created-but-never-appended session leaves nothing on disk and is absent from list.
  • Append-only. Committed events (at or below a flushed turn/end) are never rewritten. Subsequent appends are line appends at EOF + fsync.
  • Crash recovery — close, don't truncate. A crash can leave a log whose final turn never closed (real events after the last turn/end). load PRESERVES those events (a turn can be huge — they are real work) and closes the orphaned turn by durably appending synthetic boundary events: an error tool/result for every tool-call the crash left unanswered (the loop logs the assistant message before running the tools, so a mid-tool crash leaves dangling calls — and deriveMessages() would replay an assistant tool-call with no result, which providers reject), then a step/end if a step was open, then turn/end {kind:'interrupted'}, returning a balanced log. Only a never-fully-written torn tail fragment (a final line with no newline / unparseable) is ftruncated away before the closers are written. See session persistence.
  • Contiguous-seq. load rejects a mid-log parse error or seq gap (unloadable); append rejects a batch whose first seq does not continue the stored log, and rejects non-JSON-serializable event.data naming the offending event type.
  • Format version. Only the current SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION (v0) is supported; load rejects any other version. While the harness is unreleased the on-disk format is pre-release/unstable: a breaking format change is absorbed at v0 (no bump until the first tagged release) and non-current logs are rejected — there is no migration (no persisted user data to preserve).

Write path

The plugin generalizes the example session-jsonl.ts: it subscribes to session/created (capture the header; persist a fork's seed once), session/event (snapshot each event when buffering — the live session.events object is mutable), and session/flush/dispose (drain the write-behind buffer through append). A per-session write cursor means a resumed session never re-appends already-stored events. Existing live sessions are seeded on plugin apply (HMR does not replay session/created). All backend operations for one session are serialized, and disposal awaits quiescence (every init + final drain) before returning, so no write lands after teardown.
